That's what I'm planning on. Wish I fit them before they were painted, but oh well. I checked them against my crumbling, disgusting originals and they just fall right into place.


Gotta love reproduction parts, huh?

I'm having trouble with paint not sticking to interior panels. Upholstery shop has tried three times and finally said the plastic used for the panels will not accept any etching step to improve paint adhesion. Fortunately, the rub off only shows where the door pad is contacting the kick panel edge and rear quarter trim edge so it's only visible when you open the door. I guess I can live with it as opposed to replacing all the trim panels again. You can only take apart the interior so many times.
